Hi everyone,

In the market for a 2019-2020 white raptor. Was looking at the above vehicles. New to the raptor world.

What is everyone’s thoughts on these? Worth the price? Like the 600 HP the VelociRaptor puts out and the looks.

Anyone own one of these?

Thanks

I was just looking for a stock raptor that was modified and different from the every day raptor. With a little more horsepower and styling.

I’ve looked into Hennessey and looks like they have a bad rap?

Are there other companies that do this as a stock option you can buy directly from a dealer?

Thanks

I have a friend/colleague that always has multiple “latest & greatest” vehicles & he has a red Shelby raptor which I drove- it has a lot of exterior additions that coupled w/ the tire/suspension changes probably add a decent amount of mass/unsprung weight & while I could definitely tell it had more power than a stock raptor the SOTP feel was not as dramatic as I would have expected having already been driven in another mostly stock raptor that had a gearhead performance tune - take that FWIW

It’s nice to have a warranty w/ the mods tho

I wouldn’t touch a Hennessy raptor with your money!!!!!!
If you don’t want to build your own go with the Shelby. It’s way overpriced but has a name everyone knows. You can get WAY more bang for your buck by working with shops like @svcoffroad or @KrazyHouseCustoms. Lots of options, take your time to do lots of research so you get what you want the first time. Check out @zombiekiller build thread.

I was just looking for a truck I could finance and not have to drop a ton of cash into working with a shop. That way the wife wouldn’t have to see cash going out for parts and the instal of the parts.

That’s the only reason I wanted something canned. I don’t love the look of the front bumper on the Shelby’s...plus for $115k I’m sure I could have a sick raptor after putting $30k into a base raptor.

Sarasota Ford. They build whatever you want. Their custom vehicle shop is called 707 Performance. Look them up. Got mine from them.
